Book Description
One morning, with no warning, Gopal, respected professor, devoted husband, and caring father, walks out on his family for reasons even he cannot articulate. His wife, Sumi returns with their three daughters to the shelter of the Big House, where her parents live in oppressive silence: they have not spoken to each other in 35 years. As the mystery of this long silence is unraveled, a horrifying story of loss and pain is laid bare—a story that seems to be repeating itself in Sumi's life. This multigenerational story, told in the individual voices of the characters, catches each in turn the cycles of love, loss, strength, and renewal that becomes an essential part of the women's identities. A Matter of Time reveals the hidden springs of character while painting a nuanced portrait of the difficulties and choices facing women—especially educated, independent women—in India today.

Book Description
A Regency time-travel romance in which a modern-day Austenite's ultimate dream comes true when she lands in the arms of a Regency duke, only to learn some fantasies aren't all they're cracked up to be when he proves less than a Prince Charming... "Literary magic takes widowed Jane Austen fan Eliza James to Regency England for a chance to win the heart of the likewise-bereaved Deveric Mattersley, Duke of Claremont, in this charming time-travel romance. Despite the unlikely premise, the unforced unfolding of this magically-created romance is refreshing...the author has effectively captured the emotional essence of a historical romance and created an engaging love story that will leave readers eager for more of the series." - Publishers Weekly BookLife "A Matter of Time should be on every fantasy, paranormal, contemporary and Regency romance reader's "to read" list...I would definitely recommend this novel - you will be charmed, captivated, have a few good laughs and shed a few tears as you cheer Eliza and Dev on to find their happy every after ending." - Marsha, KeeperBookshelf.com "I fell in love with this book, just as I did with the Jane Austen classics. There's a new Mr. Darcy in town." - Annie, ARC reader, reviewer for The Write Review and ChickLitPlus.com _________________________________________________________________________ Can a man with a past and a woman from the future forge a love for all time? Nobody would blame widowed doctoral student Eliza James for giving up on Happily Ever After; at twenty-nine, she's suffered more loss than most people do in a lifetime. But Eliza's convinced her own hero is still out there, waiting for her, just like in the beloved romance novels she devours. Every Jane Austen-loving girl deserves a Darcy, right? Only Eliza doesn't dream of a modern-day affair: she wants the whole Regency experience. When a magical manuscript thrusts her back two hundred years into the arms and life of one Deveric Mattersley, Duke of Claremont, however, Eliza realizes some fantasies aren't all they're cracked up to be, especially when her duke proves himself less than a Prince Charming. Convinced he's at fault for the death of his wife, Deveric Mattersley has no interest in women, much less marriage. Determined to atone for his sins, he decrees himself content to focus on running his family's estates, and on raising his son-until the mysterious Mrs. James appears. Who is she? What does she want? And why does she make Dev's blood run hot in a way no woman ever has? A charming time-travel Regency romance full of wit and humor, A Matter of Time reminds us that, like books, you can't judge people by their covers, and that love often comes when least expected. _________________________________________________________________________ 2016 HOLT Medallion Certificate of Merit winner for Best Paranormal and Best Book by a Virginia Author 2016 RONE Finalist for Best Paranormal Genre: Regency time travel Magic of Love Book 2: 365 pages

Book Description
Clocks and calendars rule our lives, and while time is constant, life is anything but linear. The Greeks talked about time in two ways. Chronos means measurable time. Kairos means understanding the value of a moment. As the clock ticks by, it's vital you find meaningful moments to hug your toddler, laugh with school-aged child, or have a deep conversation with your teenager. Paul encourages us in Ephesians to make the most of our time, being proactive with every minute we have. The principles in this book will help you develop skills you need to build meaningful relationships with your children, no matter where they are in life. By building on foundational principles such as consistency and intentionality, and modeling leadership values such as honor, courage, and vision, you will position your children to ultimately change their world. Remember, time is free, but it is precious. Master your time and you will master your life.

Book Description
Book One of the brand new A Matter of Time series tells the story of seventeen-year-old Charlie Henderson. Charlie has lived a sheltered, relatively uneventful life in Fresno, California-but he's always wanted more-lots more. As his senior year of high school approaches, he vows to finally break out of his shell, leave his nerdy reputation behind, and become popular like his younger sister, Maddie. At first, everything seems to be going well for him-until one night when he, Maddie, and three of their friends are mysteriously transported back in time. They suddenly find themselves in a gosh-awful mess. With nothing but the clothes on their backs, the five teens must navigate this new place and time . . . a world filled with more chaos and danger than they have ever imagined! Charlie and his friends are trapped in a place of otherworldly tension as events unfold under a shadow of secrecy. Have they become victims of someone else's twisted idea of fun? As things escalate and multiple plots overlap, they all experience a surge of fear, like an uncoiling snake that slithers through them, turning their thoughts back to the ho-hum world they were yanked out of. Perhaps it wasn't so bad, after all. Author Tony Edwards writes realistic fiction that teens can relate with to aid them in their quest of development toward adulthood. Edwards introduces readers to Charlie, a teenager who desperately wants to be recognized by his peers and to no longer live under his sister's shadow, something many teenagers can identify with. Interestingly, he writes not only for those who enjoy a good book but also for the many teens who do NOT like to read books. It turns out many of these reluctant young readers end up picking up the right book and not wanting to put it down! This book is an excellent example of realistic science fiction. In this coming-of-age story, teens deal with time travel, something that energizes the imagination. The book features a great deal of action, comedy, and character development. Edwards, 25, was a teen himself not that long ago and can therefore easily relate to the burden of today's youth having to live in an ever-increasing digital and virtual world. For this reason, he presents food for thought as he challenges his young readers' minds. Book Two is currently in the works!

Book Description
Rhythm changes us. Literally. In A Matter of Time: the science of rhythm and the groove, Lamb looks at those physiological changes and defines rhythm by its effect on us. But he doesn't stop there, he compares the body's physiological changes with what top musicians say about rhythm and finds striking similarities. This approach suggests a simple theory of how rhythm works and explains, for example, words like swing and groove are commonly used to describe music. "When I read this book it was like having a grand unification of all of the moving parts. Everything fell into place... For me personally this book is one of the few that have made a profound difference in my awareness of and how I approach music." - Mike Tarrani, Amazon Top 50 Reviewer
